Sourcing equivalent products in the UK - advice, verification, best prices etc

Richard Shaw

Hi all, it would be great if anyone could post information about materials etc that could be sourced in the UK.

For example, according to this video from Xrobots:

L200 foam is the same as LD45 plastazote,  which he buys here:

It would be really helpful if we could build up a catalogue of UK counterparts for any materials mentioned, as well as the cheapest sources for them.

Thanks,
Richard.

That sounds like a good idea. I use Foam Direct for any foam materials I need and have always been happy with the service.

Any advances or updates on this UK guys?
I'm proper, new-new so any suggestions of even decent brands to try to source for things like scar wax and liquid latex would be so helpful. 🙏
